PRECEDENT: Ernesto Miranda

Published: Dec. 26, 2022, 8 a.m.

b'In 1963 Ernesto Miranda was arrested for kidnapping, rape and armed robbery. Ultimately, he gave police a confession but only because he didn\\u2019t know he had the option not to talk to them\\u2026 or to get an attorney. Miranda\\u2019s path through the justice system set a precedent for informing those arrested of their rights. And now the Miranda Warning is something so engrained in us Crime Junkies we could probably recite it on our sleep.'
